Chapter 267 Confrontation (1/2)

She was still in a daze when she heard someone knocking on the door. One of the servants of the Zhan mansion came to check if she had already gotten up.

”I'll go downstairs in a short while,” she said without opening the door. There was no response from the servant but she heard footsteps receding.

When she got downstairs, Lucian was standing in the middle of the living room.

His tall and strong physique was hard to neglect.

But she was not in the mood to care so much about it. She took a deep breath and walked slowly towards him, feeling ill at ease.

Lucian's face lit up upon seeing her. He was apparently happy to see her again.

She couldn't meet his gaze as she was getting closer to him.

”Did you sleep well last night?” asked Lucian casually. He seemed not to mind her uneasiness.

She looked down and scratched her head unconsciously.

'It's already ten o'clock. Isn't it obvious that I woke up late?' she thought. However, she was too embarrassed to say it loud in front of him. Instead, she looked around to avoid meeting his eyes.

Perhaps, Lucian had understood the meaning of her silence so he said, ”That's good.”

Then he heaved a deep sigh and added, ”I actually didn't sleep well.

Amelia was surprised. She suddenly looked into his face with creased forehead.

What did that deep sigh mean? Was he satirizing her for sleeping well? ”Maybe because I'm not used to sleeping without you,” explained Lucian unabashedly.
